Any odd pieces of sound wood fin. or 1/2 in. thick may be used to make the article illustrated, and the several pieces when cut out are put together with round brass-headed screws. The back board measures 14 1/2 in. long by 5 in. wide, and the side pieces 12 in. long by 5 3/4 in. at the widest part. The tumbler rack is cut from a piece of wood 5 in. by 4 1/2 in., and shaped as shown in Fig. 4, a round hole being cut in the centre to receive the tumbler. After all the pieces are cut to their proper shape, rub them well with sandpaper, and fix them together. Two or three coats of oil or varnish will help to preserve the wood from continual dampness.
